But a change in the hierarchy at PSG – with Holland hero Patrick Kluivert losing his job as transfer boss – has thrown all the transfer options open again.

According to Bild, the four-year contract – worth £12m a-season – that was believed to have secured Aubameyang’s services has been ripped up by new PSG chief Antero Henrique, who prefers a punt on landing Mbappe.

Aubameyang appeared to be celebrating his massive summer move with a family holiday after the Gabonese star hired a private jet for his family trip to California.
